I am curious about this change. Just one question. I understand that I can lock the plus stat and the bonuses that I like. But if I was lucky, and I got the +12 availability , so the +10,+11,+12 bonus with 3-3-3 strength on a weapon, can I lock that 3 bonus too? Or the possibility of luxing isn't included in this? Thanks for the answer

Good question...

Lol all those telling the people who are canceling their preorder that Tera is better of without them ,,,what are u smoking ?.

Do you relize the reason these people are leaving is becouse they came to Tera expecting somthing new, hard, challenging, etc. Not another "lets give everything to player without much time and/or effort investment"

if you dont reliease that then you just kidding yourself.

The minority vs the majority.
The minority almost always looses.
In this case the minority are those that are more in favor of an 'oldschool' mmo ..one that actually takes time to get to end game, to get gear, effort to kill stuff, and generaly wants a hard time. (RNG causes people a hard time, whether you consider it tedious or not, its still a pain in the a*s to get through RNG, thats a GOOD thing)

The majority are those used to western (or westernised) mmo's of the past 10 or so years, like WoW, rift, Guildwars, Aion, etc. These people for the most part wont admit this..but they want things handed ot them with little time and/or effort involved. Hell many have admitted they dont have the 'time' to have slow leveling etc.

Unfortunatly, EME will cater to the majority. :(
Which makes their MMO-FO adverts a sham.

First of all i think you should stop living 10 years ago.

How do you not see that nobody is being handed anything. To get to +12 will still be just as hard as it always has been, they just dont punish you for the hard work your putting in which you should be thankful for.

You for one do not understand how hard getting items +12 nor can you say that this will take little time and effort without actually doing it yourself. How about this, why don't you +12 all of your gear then tell us how long it took you then you might have valid argument against how long this MAY take.

So maybe you should stop kidding yourself and if you want to play an out-dated 10 year old mmo maybe you should just go back and play one, instead of flooding the forums with QQ and assuming things will be easy when really, you have no idea at all but assumptions.

The new system removes time as a factor and you're left with money. To some, time has a direct correlation with money, to others, they have enough money that time isn't a factor for them at all. Thus the problem. Simply made it easier for those few.

As for the +12 being easy... Just do the math and you can clearly see for yourself how much easier it is now.

The old system encouraged 10,000X more RMT usage, FYI.

Every time an enchant deleveled your item, that was one more item you were going to have to buy to try to enchant with. Instead of doing 12 with every slot, you could wind up doing 40 or more as it went up and down.

RNG-based progression is a fantastic way to kill a game. Just ask Aion.
